hello blog-world,
to say that i've been absent from here is a tad misleading. its been over a year, and i simply didn't care. which is in itself odd, because the last year has proven to be one of, if not the most dramatic and transforming years of my life. here's the dealy: i started dating the most beautiful and wonderful girl that i've ever met. somehow i tricked her into saying yes to my marriage proposal. we took some time off from the world to just be us. we hooked up with a new group of people at Arise Church. we don't fit in at all, and yet, that's exactly why we fit in there. i have been working on a new album. it took several different directions, and ended up somewhere i didn't expect. but its done, and i'm happy with that. as i type this, i am still reeling from an amazing cd release show last weekend, and i am 26 days and some change from my wedding day. unreal. the day is near. i am excited and at peace. i feel blessed and honored to be where i am. there seem to be a million possibilities on the horizon, but so far we've not lost ourselves to one with reckless abandon. there's a beauty in waiting. "The world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck."- Emerson said that. i feel it.
so where does that leave things in this moment? finalizing wedding plans, booking shows, teaching music, loving my wife-to-be, taking care of two crazy dogs, finding time to write, and just living. enjoying living. life is a bicycle or a birdcage, you choose...

Christopher, I suspect the reason you are experiencing so many blessings is because of the old adage, "What goes around, comes around." You were wise and bold enough to put your heart and life in God's care and then dare to walk His walk. You are being rewarded with your very own angel here on Earth - Keri Rose. And your well of music genius has been replinished with an abundance that far exceeds the amount most of us get. It appears that you are being led to brighten this world more than ever. Your walk will be much easier now as you and your angel go forward on a bicycle built for two.
